Jeanne, and your entire family
So sorry to hear of the loss of your dad.
It is always hard to lose our parent but it is even harder during this Epidemic time; so much isolation and such a different closure.
(A strange connection on how I heard about your father’s passing- it was from a friend in Columbia, IL that I worked with at the Middle School. My sympathy to you snd your entire family. His love and your memories will always be with you.

Dear Mrs. Tettambel, your entire family was remarkably kind to mine, but I especially remember how Mr. Tettambel would always have a smile on his face when my brothers and I would be walking or riding our bikes around the circle – we always went by your house because we were so tired from pedaling all the way up and when we would be stopped by your house to rest he always asked how we were doing, how school was, what our hobbies or activities were, and always made me feel important. I’m so sorry for your loss and grateful for our wonderful little subdivision that gave me so many memories and friendships with wonderful people like Mr. Tettambel. Warmly, Niki Miller Stilwell
